| Description | C4, used to destroy whatever it is attached to. 2 modes, delay and RF detonation |
| Crafting Recipe | 20 Explosives, 5 Cloth, 2 Tech Trash |
| Recycles Into | 10 Explosives, 3 Cloth, 1 Tech Trash |
| Stack Size | 10 |
| Workbench Required | Level 3 |
| Research Table Cost | 500 Scrap |
| Damage | 550 |
| Explosion Radius | 4m |
| Explosion Delay | 10 Seconds |
| Explosion Control | Delay or RF |
| Where To Buy | Outpost for 75 Scrap |
| Where To Find | APC Crate, Elite Crate, Elite Tier Crate, Heavy Scientist, Helicopter Crate, Locked Crate, Supply Drop, Underwater Lab Elite Crate |
| Despawn Time | 1 hour |
| Decay Time | 24 hours |
Notes:
- To use it in delay mode, just throw the explosive charge with a left click. It will beep for 10 seconds before exploding. The red light will be on.
- To use in RF mode, enter your inventory and select the charge. Click on ‘Enable RF’ then ‘Set Frequency’. Use left click to throw the explosive charge onto something and wait 10 seconds for the beeping to stop. The green light will be on. Set a RF Broadcaster or RF Transmitter to the same frequency and transmit when you want the charge to detonate.
- Due to the introduction of RF mode, RF Broadcasters and Transmitters now take 0.5 damage when changing frequencies.
- Anyone can pick up the charge after the beeping stops by looking at
it and holding Use(
E). - Will survive a server restart.
- Decays after 24 hours when outside the TC range of the person that threw it.
